Only if you get a lineup where he can hit 7th or 8th. He's also a defensive liability.

True, but you have to look at the fact that his production is excellent for someone making just 2 mil a year. We all know his shortcomings yes, but there is a bang for the buck here that we're not getting from anyone else in our everyday lineup. I wouldn't move him unless it truly sweetens a deal for us.

What Gammons says is partially true: most of our best prospects likely are position players. Our last 3 first round choices, and the 2nd from last year makes 4. Not sure who the 5th is - perhaps the guy we just got from Boston. But they are years away.

Peavy is not an ace, was not the best guy on the market, will not net us a package of prospects close to what Garza got, and it's not like I'm the only one saying it. I so sick and tired of being called a troll or even a cubs fan for stating my opinion, which is an opinion being mentioned nationally by several people every day. Yeah, that last comment is sarcastic. But with the way people are ****ting on me, I'm gonna say it with a little attitude. Because I'm not the one who's wrong.

Peavy is a number 1 or a 2 at worst. He also is a proven competitor game in and game out. Your entitled to your opinion but so am I. Since I am not a scout or GM and I am sure you are not either; will just wait and see what Peavy goes for in the trade market. Also I believe that the Peavy will have better numbers than Garza ends up with at the end of their careers; that's just my opinion.

I agree, Gammons is not incorrect in this, since we did use plenty of resources on position players over the last few years. I don't have that much faith in their ability to develop position players, but they have the most overall talent out of the farm system.
Just off the top of my head, Johnson, Thompson, Anderson, Hawkins and Zapata (recent Dominican signing) are probably the 5 guys he's thinking of, with Johnson being the only pitcher.
